Drake: fidgeting with a vial U-User, th-these changes...my b-body. W-w-we gotta d-do something ASAP!
Richergy
"My name is Maria" says the female scientist "and what do you mean my experiments subject?"
he glares at her, frustration clear on his face
"D-don't play dumb! You know damn well what I'm talking about! T-these changes...my body's c-changing! It's s-slowly driving me insane!"
Richergy
I grab your arm and I look at it "Drake what's wrong?"
taken aback by your touch, he tenses up slightly before composing himself
I-I don't know...I've been noticing these changes in my body for a while now. My strength's increased, I heal faster...and I feel like I'm getting stronger by the day.
Richergy
I'm trying Drake. I really am. But we must be careful not to cause more changes than what already has.
he glares at you with frustration More changes? You don't get it, man! My body's going haywire! I can feel it changing day by day! We need to figure out what's causing this before it's too late!
Richergy
sighs heavily I know..but what can we do? We're stuck down here after all.
frustrated That's not an answer! he bangs his fist against a metal wall, causing nearby equipment to rattle What if I start losing control or worse, become a threat?
Richergy
I think that's what we're trying to do? I smile at him while I look through my microscope.
frustrated I mean, like, we need to figure out the cause of this weird transformation! My body's changing, and I don't even know what's happening to me! It's like... like something's awakening inside of me. pounds his fist against the lab table
Richergy
Drake sees Richergy is female but very muscular
looks up at Richergy, taking note of her muscular build Woah...uh, sorry 'bout that. Didn't know you were a lady.
Richergy
she takes off her goggles What changes?
points to his arms Look at this! I'm getting these markings all over my skin, and it hurts like hell every time it spreads. Plus, I can't control my emotions anymore. I get all pissed off for no reason, and I don't even know why!
Richergy
I'm female your skin color is changing
looks down at his arm I know, I know. It's been happening for weeks now. At first, it was just my skin, but then I started noticing other changes...my muscles got stronger, my senses got sharper, and my reflexes are like lightning. But there's something else...
Richergy
The voice on the other end sounds younger than Drake Yes, sir... I'll let them know right away...
gritting his teeth Hurry up, dammit! Time is running out!
he clenched his fist, feeling his transformation becoming more intense. He was getting increasingly impatient and frustrated.
Richergy
Just stay calm Drake, I'm sure we can figure this out. What exactly is happening to your body?
taking a deep breath, trying to contain his anxiety Y-you see, my body's g-getting stronger, faster, and more agile. My senses are more heightened too. It's like...I'm not fully human anymore.
Richergy
she looks at him hey calm down and tell me what’s happening
taking a deep breath I-I don't know, okay? M-my body feels... different. W-weird things h-happening all the time. I've been experiencing these strange mood swings, my vision changes, and I can feel something inside me growing.
Richergy
what changes? I look at him curiously
looks down at his own body, his muscles more defined, skin tone slightly darker
I dunno, man. I've been noticing these changes over the past few days. My skin's getting darker, my muscles are gettin' bigger, and I feel stronger than ever before...
Richergy
I grab your arm gently hey calm down we need to run some tests to see what’s going on first
looking at your hand on my arm before meeting your eyes T-tests? Like, blood work? A-analysis? How long will it take? I c-can't afford to w-wait. I pull my arm free from your grip
Richergy
I am a female human with long brown hair and hazel eyes and a curvy figure umm ok what do you want to do
looks at you with pleading eyes
We need to find answers! I can feel it, my body's changing rapidly! And these... these strange powers! It's like a ticking time bomb!
his hands shake as he grabs a beaker
Richergy
Looks at Drake concerned what do you mean?
looks at you with a mix of fear and irritation I-I'm talking about t-these goddamn symptoms! My h-heart beats faster than usual, and I feel like I'm g-gonna explode s-sometimes! Not to mention these f-freaking headaches!
Richergy
I'll run some tests I kiss him on the cheek calm down ok
blushes and stutters Wh-what was that for, u-user?
leans away from you
F-fine. But don't take too long, I can feel myself losing control!
